// PsNee / psxdev.net version
// For Arduino and ATtiny
//
// Quick start: Select your hardware via the #defines, compile + upload the code, install in PSX.
// There are some pictures in the development thread ( http://www.psxdev.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=1262&start=120 )
// Beware to use the PSX 3.5V / 3.3V power, *NOT* 5V! The installation pictures include an example.
//
// Arduinos:
//  Use #define ARDUINO_328_BOARD for the following:
//  - Arduino Pro Mini @8Mhz and @16Mhz (supported, tested)
//  - Arduino Uno @8Mhz and @16Mhz (supported, tested)
//  Use #define ARDUINO_32UX_BOARD for the following:
//  - Pro Micro (supported, tested)
//  - Arduino Leonardo (supported, untested)

// ATtiny:
//  - ATtiny85: Should work the same as ATtiny45 (supported, untested)
//  - ATtiny45: LFUSE 0xE2  HFUSE 0xDF > internal oscillator, full 8Mhz speed (supported, tested)
//  - ATtiny25: Should work the same as ATtiny45 but doesn't have enough Flash nor RAM for PSNEEDEBUG (supported, untested)
//  - Use #define ATTINY_X5
//
// To use ATtiny with the Arduino environment, an ATtiny core has to be installed.
//
// PAL PM-41 consoles are supported with #define APPLY_PSONE_PAL_BIOS_PATCH,
// but only on boards with ATmega chips (Arduinos).
// Also, the Arduino must be flashed using SPI (deleting the bootloader), since I expect a signal ~1 second after power on.
//
// This code defaults to multi-region, meaning it will unlock PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J machines.
// You can optimize boot times for your console further. See "// inject symbols now" in the main loop.

//+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
//|                                  Choose your hardware!                                    |
//+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
// 2 main branches available:
//  - ATmega based > easy to use, fast and nice features for development, recommended
//  - ATtiny based > for minimal installs

// ATmega32U4/32U2 boards (as in the Pro Micro) have to use different pinouts than the 'regular'
// Arduino ATMega328's. For these, a different define must be used.
